So to me it's the GOP who are just evil but can't organize. Would it be any different with Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio with this much power? Probably not, the GOP just can't figure it out.
Obamacare is working despite efforts by the GOP to defund and derail it. If Republicans were smart they would try to elicit some tax breaks out of the ACA and some other concessions (which they would no doubt be able to do, possibly with bi-partisan support in many cases) and then they can say -- "hey, we fixed this" but they spent 7 years saying that it was the worst thing to ever happen to the American people. So how can you sell an effort to fix something you've said is the worst thing in American history? They painted themselves into a corner. Many of the folks in the House won their seat on this "promise."
It's all fun and games until the moment you have to cash the check.

They did paint themselves into a corner, and you are right, its easy to hurl insults from the other side of the aisle compared to actually governing.
shouting hypotheticals is fine until the rubber hits the road and these things actually become law and your party owns it
its still Trump's fault: the buck stops at the President... maybe if he was spending the time in the hallways of the Senate two weeks ago and participating in the actually work to craft legislation he could have helped the bill pass... I mean thank god that didn't happen... He felt that golfing was more important that trying to rally his party to get the bill passed.
Trump is the President of the US. So yes, the failure of the bill to pass is also his responsibility...
If you think the bill had passed, he wouldn't be taking the credit for it?! There's a snowball's chance in Hell for him not taking credit...
